Public libraries are unique local institutions, touching the lives of residents in untold ways. In recognition of the unique role libraries play, the South Central Library System (SCLS) Foundation will again present three library awards as part of the 2015 Cornerstone Award fundraising reception on Nov. 19 in Portage.

A new Stop Motion Animation and Video Editing maker kit is now available for SCLS member libraries to reserve. The kit includes six iPad minis, tripods and lightboxes, and a 10'x16' green screen. More information about this and other maker kits is available on the SCLS Equipment page.

New 'Talk of the Town' airs

The July edition of CW 57's Talk of the Town is now available (see below). It features Kelly Verheyen and Sarah Bukrey from Stoughton Public Library talking about adult craft programs that libraries offer.
